While in Europe, Miss Stella will give attention to her musical studies. She is already one of the finest singers in Ohio, and there is no doubt that she will win wider fame through her studies in Europe. *(The Ironton Register, October 24, 1889) (Note: Estelle McMillin’s birth record in Lawrence County, Ohio, shows her name as Stella. ew) Stanley Gardyne Stewart First Husband of Estelle McMillin Records state Stanley G.

Stewart-McMillin Wedding - Cards are out for the wedding of Mr. Stanley Gardyne Stewart and Miss Estelle McMillin, which is to take place at the First Congregational Church, Columbus, January 18, at 8:30. After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson McMillin will be “at home” at the Normandie, to invited guests. The occasion promises to be one of elegance and splendor, but the bride, as we know her, will be worthy of all the stately ceremony and éclat of the happy occasion. *(The Ironton Register, January 5, 1893) Emerson M. G. Stewart (see below), son of Estelle McMillin and Stanley G. Stewart, was born August 19, 1894. *(Ancestry.com) Colonial Trust Co. v. McMillin (a lawsuit, in part, involving watered bonds belonging to Stanley G. Stewart and sold to Emerson McMillin). “Referring to the agreement between respondent (Emerson McMillin) and (Stanley) Stewart whereby the former came into possession of the stock certificate, and interpreting that agreement, wherein it may be dubious, in the light of the circumstances surrounding the parties the contemporaneous construction put on the contract by the parties to it and the construction placed thereon by them continuously thereafter; remembering, too, that the record discloses that respondent did not want to invest in the stock or bonds as an out and out purchaser; that he entered into the matter reluctantly and only to protect the affairs of his daughter’s husband from an impending crash, we see no difficulty in agreeing with the learned trial judge that this was not a sale or a conditional sale of the The Family of Emerson McMillin Copyright © 2012 Elaine Winkler 37
